To all whom t ma concern.'

Be it known t at I, RAYMoNn B. GIL- clausus' resident of Newark, in thecounty or ladles, and designs to provide e simple.

of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefulimprovements in IceJCi-ezim Ladies, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description.v

The invention relates to ice-cream. dishers device in which provision ismade for the removal of the scraper for cutting' the cream from the bowland' other operating parts, to facilitate cleaning or washing thereof.

The invention consists in the several novel features hereinafter setforth and more perticulerly defined by claims et the conclusion hereof.

other end thereof. The frame 1s o'set as at 13. A scraper 14, formed ofa narrow resilient strip, is adapted to sweep around the bowl. to severthe iee-creamtherefrom y: md is secured to a shaft or spindle 15 which1s i journeled in e closed bearing 16 at one side .of the bowl andadjacent the handle and in e lug 17 integrally orn'ied with the handleor frame 10. Since the scraper is to be withdrawn through the closedbearing 16, its width is restricted to the diameter of the bearing whichusually will be about that of 'spindle 15, practically. The outer end ofscraper 14 is provided with a trunnion -or terminal 18 which ishcld in abearing 19 at the outer end of the bowl.`

A pinion 20 is rigid on shaft 15 sind e lever v2l .is provided with anarcuate rock 22 at oneend thereof which is adopted to entete shaft 15and scroper 14, and the lever is also provided with e. laterally andrearwardly extending finger-piece 2e, whereby the lever may be operatedtowardvthe frame 'or handle by the thumb of theopereto1z The leverispivotelly and xnoveltte#mounted upon setnd 25 which is rigid on handle1Q.

27 through which lug 17 extends so that the inner end of the shaft 15will halve a bearing adjacent the rack and the pinion 20, and the latterwill be disposed between bearings 16 and 17. Arm 28 of lever 21 is`adapted to :ibut against one side of bearing 17 to limit the movementof the lever, when it is shifted to operate the scraper in the bowl. Astop 29 limits the movement of the lever inthe sprimfg-presseddirection.A. coil spring 30 has one end connected to o screw 31, on the handle andhasy its other end hooked into lug on the lever. This spring serves tooperate the lever and scraper in one direction and is detachztblyconnected at 32 and 31 to y permit the lever to be removed.

To'remove the scraper from the' bowl it is only necessary to releaseand-withdraw trunnion 18 from bearing 19 then slide shaft 15 out fromand out of bearing 17 and then to incline the scr/oper and shaft asindicated in Fig. 1, and at the same time the shaft may be swunglaterally tmclear the lever han-I die, so the scraper can be withdrawnthrough' the closed bearing 16. Thescraper and shaft may thus be removedwithout disturbing the operating-lever and the shaft is thus removablyheld in two .closed bearings so that it will be truly mounted on theframe. l

When the scraper and shaft have been removed, the lever 21 will be freeto be 'removed from its pivot 25. 'When spring 30 is .disconnected ron'lstud 31 or lug 32 the lever 'can be removed from its pivot 25. Inassembling, spring 30 may be put under ten`- sion by the lever when thelever is seperated suiiiciently from the frame, to permit stop-lug 29 toslip over the frame, and then,l

pressing the lever toward the frame, to render said lng operative toarrest the lever. By separation of the lever from the frame lug 29 will'be rendered inoperative to hold the lever, end thus the tension on thespring may be released for convenience'in separat- The spring alsoserves to hold the lever on its pivot and the pinion 20 serves a similarpurpose when it is in opemti ve relation to the rock on the lever.

The vinvention is not to be understood as restricted to the details setforth since these may be modified by the skilled mechanic within thescope of the Aappended claims without de inrting troni the spirit andscope of the invention.

Having time described lie invention what l claim as new and desire to.secure by Leiters lalent is:
